Sealant Cure Capacity at 98% cure-space availability: a worked example

Push cure-space availability up to 98% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a production scheduler needs to know how many sealed parts can clear cure in a shift or day

The inputs for this scenario

  • Parts per cure rack or zone: 64 parts/cycle (unchanged)
  • Available sealant cure cycles: 6 cycles (unchanged)
  • Cure-space availability: 98 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 85)
  • Accepted cure yield: 96 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Gross cure capacity = parts per cure rack or zone × available cure cycles) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 361 sealed parts for good cured sealant capacity, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 384 sealed parts for gross cure capacity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 7.68 sealed parts for cure-space availability loss.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15.05 sealed parts for cure rejection loss.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where cure-space availability sits at 85% and the headline result is 313 sealed parts, this scenario comes in 15.29% above the baseline at 361 sealed parts.
  • It computes good cured sealant capacity by multiplying parts per rack by available cure cycles, then derating for cure-space availability and accepted cure yield. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Good cured sealant capacity: 361 sealed parts (headline result)
  • Gross cure capacity: 384 sealed parts
  • Cure-space availability loss: 7.68 sealed parts
  • Cure rejection loss: 15.05 sealed parts
